I grabbed this book because I like mystery/thrillers and I love the
TV show BONES which is loosely based on Kathy Reichs books about Dr.
Temperance Brennan. Before I tell you about the book I need to say that
the Dr. Brennan in the book version (there are a bunch, I’ve only read
this one so far) is VERY DIFFERENT than the way she is portrayed on
BONES. She’s older, has a daughter, works in Canada and at least so far
there is no Booth.
The novel is tightly written and the attention to details, as gory as
they are, is spot on. One of the things I love is that book is told in
first person in Tempe’s voice and she feels so real, she even chides
herself for noticing the amazing blue eyes on one of the cops.
In Déjá Dead Tempe picks up on a pattern between the deaths of at
least 4 women all found murdered and mutilated. Problem is she is the
only one who sees it and convincing the police isn’t easy. Can she
before the psycho kills again?
Well laid out and paced with perfect amounts of tension. I’ll be reading more of the books about Dr. Brennan.
